HERself

Today we are diving into the all-too-familiar topics of stress and burnout with our special guest, Amelia Nagoski. Amelia is an author, speaker and conductor who holds a Doctorate in Music from The University of Connecticut. She wrote the New York Times bestseller, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, with her identical twin sister, Emily. The book contains science and stories for people, especially women, who have felt exhausted and overwhelmed by everything they have to do, yet they still feel like they’re not doing enough. This conversation with Amelia is a reminder to take yourself seriously and to start listening to that voice inside of you. You won’t be able to show up fully in this world until you begin taking this thing called burnout seriously, and by figuring out what your needs truly are! We’d love it if you could share this episode and message with anyone you feel could benefit from it, because burnout is such a relevant topic today for so many people. Don’t forget to tag us, @burnoutbookgroup and @herselfpodcast, and let us know what resonated the most with you! MEET Amelia: https://www.instagram.com/burnoutbookgroup/ Sponsor: 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself Sponsor: 15% off at GOODR with code ‘herself15’: https://goodr.comLinks & Resources:Get Your Copy of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle Amelia’s YouTube Channel, Autistic BurnoutCome as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski, Ph.D.Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny by Kate ManneLet’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

Welcome to this bonus episode of HERself! It is our dream to someday bring you two episodes each week, so today is the test for that. What you might not see behind the scenes is that our amazing sponsors want a certain amount of downloads, so we have an ask of you. If we do go to two episodes a week, it’s important that you keep listening and sharing these episodes to help us accomplish this dream! With that being said, we’re excited to continue providing you with the best resource that we can to support you along your journey. Today we want to reflect on Episode 146 with Dr. Becky, because Dr. Becky is someone who meets people where they are, and she’s not the type of expert who will shame you by pretending there is a “perfect” way to parent. Rather, she is trying to come alongside you and to help wherever you are. Implementing some of the things that we talk about in this episode can make such a difference in helping you and your kids to get through the tougher times, by you providing support but not solving every problem for them. It might not show up at that very moment, but little by little you’ll start to see that all these hard conversations will lead to some really amazing transformations! Again, we would be so grateful if you could text, email, and share this episode so that we can bring you even more content weekly. As always, we want to hear your biggest takeaways and how this has helped you, so please tag us at @herselfpodcast! Feeling burnt out? Longing for more time and energy for yourself? Don’t know where to start? We’ve been there. Let us help you navigate this busy season while making yourself a priority.

You are in for a treat today! We are so excited to be bringing you our conversation with Dr. Becky Kennedy, who is a clinical psychologist, mom of three, and founder of Good Inside, the expert-guided, community-powered platform equipping parents with a new way of seeing and solving challenges at home. Dr. Becky meets parents where they are at, and it’s so refreshing to get her insight on parenting, because a lot of these conversations are often happening behind closed doors. Today’s episode is a reminder that wherever we are in motherhood, we can start over right now by re-evaluating and changing our behaviors. By doing so we’ll not only help our kids, but we’ll start to help ourselves in the process. We encourage you to visit Dr. Becky’s website at https://www.goodinside.com/ and check out all the amazing resources that she has available for moms, and if you enjoy this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging @drbeckyatgoodinside and @herselfpodcast. MEET Dr. Becky: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinside/ Sponsor: 25% off at Expecting and Empowered with code ‘herself25’: https://app.expectingandempowered.comSponsor: 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself Links & Resources:Dr. Becky’s Website & Free Weekly NewsletterHer Instagram Pre-Order Dr. Becky’s Book, Good Inside Join Her Good Inside MembershipSign Up for Dr. Becky’s On-Demand Workshops Let’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

One subject that comes up over and over again with our community is friendship, so we’re excited to bring Dr. Marisa Franco, a psychologist and friendship expert, back on the podcast today!Some of the things we cover in this episode include keeping friendships healthy when we’re in a busy season of life, tools for navigating conflict in friendship (and why conflict isn’t necessarily a bad thing), and ways to approach ending a friendship if the time comes for this to happen. Dr. Marisa also shares her best tips for making new friends, what to say when first engaging with new people, how strong friendships benefit our overall well-being, and so much more. We really want to make friendship uncomplicated for you and meet you where you are, because it’s normal to feel nervous about these topics. If friendships are something that you’re working on, like we are, we are proud of you because we recognize that this can be hard! If you enjoy what Dr. Marisa shares today, you’ll want to get a copy of her brand new book, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make--and Keep--Friends, which is available now! As always, we also want to hear your biggest takeaways from this episode, and you can tag us on Instagram, @DrMarisaGFranco and @herselfpodcast.

In the United States this week we are celebrating Labor Day, and we know that many of you may be with friends and family and won’t have as much time for your normal Monday morning podcast listen. For this reason, today we are bringing you a Greatest Hits episode, and one that will be especially important if you are with your in-laws this week! Dr. Tracy Dalgleish joins the HERself Podcast to talk about in-law dynamics as it relates to children. Yes, this is your time to be a parent and your children are so important to you, but also this is the time where your in-laws can shine as grandparents. There will be a learning curve and some challenges involved, but getting through it together in a way where everyone can be happy is what Tracy D focuses on in this episode. If you like what she shares, you’ll want to tune in Episode 94, which is the second part in this two-part series. In it, we go into in-law dynamics as it relates to the adults in the relationship, because we want you to make sure that you can keep the peace while maintaining your boundaries! MEET Dr. Tracy D: https://www.instagram.com/drtracyd/10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself15% off at GOODR with code ‘herself’: https://goodr.comLet’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

Hi, it’s Amy here, and today is one episode that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now! In this episode, you’ll hear me share about my own health journey that I’ve been on for the past year and a half, and I reveal what has happened during this time, where I am today, and more. Joining me is Sammie Gollup, who is an incredible dietician, to make sure that we have a safe and scientific conversation. With that being said, if hearing about weight gain or weight loss is triggering for you, please sit this episode out and take care of yourself first. In this conversation, we try to be very conscious of the way that we present these topics, but I want you to be aware of your own boundaries and needs, as always. Today, we want to have a really honest talk about weight gain and how it can impact a person mentally, and then give you the tools that can help you work through this. This episode is meant to be educational through storytelling. In it, I tell my story and Sammie gives some of the science behind it and background from her experience working with many patients. It’s going to be really interesting and informative, and we hope you get lots from it! We would love it if you shared this episode to get these important messages heard by more women and mothers.

She also talks about her powerful “sugar jar” concept, (which we love!) and how it will allow you to start checking in with yourself.Yasmine shares several prompts and activities that you can pull from this episode, and we want you to try them and let us know how you make out.

Today’s episode is all about relationships, and specifically the power of those in-person friendships that mean so much. We’ll be sharing some of the things that we’ve been going through ourselves lately, but one thing we strongly believe in at  HERself is that you need to have good friends in your life that you can absolutely count on. Real relationships take time to nurture and the process can’t be rushed, but we want you to be open to the idea of making new friends. During this season of life, there are times that you will need those people close to that you can lean on! We’ve been thinking about how we can help our listeners grow their roots, and that’s why we want to invite you to join the HERself Podcast Patreon Community, where we take these conversations deeper in our private Facebook Group. Recently, we talked about mom guilt and where it shows up, and in this community we talk about the shame and secrecy that comes with mom guilt, as well as the wins that we don’t normally celebrate with each other. You can join at one of three different tiers to support us as creators, and be part of an exclusive community of over 100 women who are also navigating this crazy thing we call life, at https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast.  15% off at GOODR with code ‘herself15’: https://goodr.com20% off at VUORI: https://vuori.com/herself Links & Resources:Join the HERself Podcast Patreon Community! 140.

Today we are tackling the topic of mom guilt, which is something we talked about way back on Episode 12 of the podcast. This is important to mention, because what we say today is coming from a place of it being two years later. Back then, mom guilt was something that we were struggling more with, which led to both of us doing a lot of work in this area, and we want to share our insights and what we’ve learned with you today. Motherhood is a journey, and we realize that mom guilt shows up differently in all of us. We think that a lot of people just accept their mom guilt in a way that really holds them back, and we feel that your goal shouldn’t be focused on being selfless, but rather to demonstrate to your children that you are a healthy person.  We hope this episode provides a nudge for you to dive deeper into these feelings of mom guilt, and as always, we’re here for you every step of the way.If you enjoy this episode and get something from it, we would love it if you shared it with a friend. This message on mom guilt needs to be shared with as many people as possible, and don’t forget to tag us on Instagram, @herselfpodcast and let us know your biggest takeaways! 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself20% off at THIRDLOVE: http://thirdlove.com/herselfLinks & Resources:12.
